The within-field spatial variation in rice grain Cd concentration is determined by soil redox status and pH during grain filling

A team of scientists from Nanjing Agricultural Univeristy in China, The Univeristy of Queensland in Australia, and Ruben Kretzschmar from the Soil Chemistry Group, have shown that the within-field spatial variation in rice grain Cd concentration is determined by soil redox status and pH during grain filling, in a new publication in Environmental Pollution.
